Lenovo ThinkCentre E73 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
